WILLIAM J. MCGARIGLE a promi-
nent Democratic politician of Chicago,
who for some time has been making a
nice living by swindling that city in
variety of ways, and who was recently
convicted and sentenced to a term of
three years in the penitentlary. induced
the Sheriff at the close OF last week
during the tendency of a motion in
court relating TO his case, to accompany
him TO his (McGarigle's) residence and
while there he succeeded Sy a trick in
getting out Of the house and Is now in
Canada. just one year ago this same
man McGarigle was a red hot applicant
TO Mr.. Cleveland for the appointment
OF L. 5. Marshal for the Northern dis

representing as they claimed the 'busi-
ness men" Of Chicago, with one OF the
County Commissioners named Van PeIt
at its head, wert TO Washington for the
purpose of forcing the President TO give
MeGarigle the coveted appointment.
Mr.. Cleveland who had previously been
waited on by MtGarigle himself. but
who didn't take any stock either in him
or his friend Van Pelt. appointed
anothsr man who was not even an appli-
cant. Van Peit was furious and indio-
nant at the Presidents course and Just
as he started from his hotel for the next
train 10 Chicago he threatened that
"AlI He'll shall stir for this" How
quickly the wheel goes round ? McGar-
igie IS an exile in Canada and his hench-
man Van Pelt is now being tried in the
criminal court of Chicago charged with
bribery and corruption. Mr.. Cleveland

Mr.. Bipper further testified that DUR

Struck at for his Pension Veto.

Disguise e as they may, the animus of
the demagOgues of the Grand Army and
OF the claim agents against President
Cleveland grows out of his veto of the
INDECENT Pension bill. TIE paltry pre-
text Is made That bY his flag order PIesi-
deut Cleveland offended the patriotic
sentiment Of the Grand Armv but it
will be borne in mind that the iusoleut
threat TO insult the President il be
should visit ST. Louis had be an made be-
fore the flag incident. The veto of the
1ndigent Pension bill was unquestIonA-
bly, IN harmony with the best sentiment
OF the country hence the people of the
United States have a far greater inter
est IN this matter than has the Presi-
dent, who stood forward as their repre-
sentative 10 protect the Treasury against
a monstIous raid. This assault upon
PRESIDENT Cleveland for his pension veto
issgai.nst public opinion. Its III disguised
OBJECT IS 10 overcome public sentiment
aud 10 force through the next Congress
another INDECENT Pension bill of like
character under the fear aid pressure of
new election. Failing in this the
purpose Is 20 make the bill an Issue in
the coming contest for President
Heucs what IS personal ID President
Cleveland in this controversy dwindles
into insignificsnce in comparison with
the public concern.
IL would be great error TO hold the
veterans of the Grand Army organiZa-
tion responsible for the ill-natured and
Indecent utterances and acts of dema-
gogues who assume 10 speak for the
soldiers. The approval given by many
Grand Army Posts of the pension veto
when 1t was delivered affords sufficient
proof OF the presentimen:s of the veter-
ans. There are in the Grand Army two
elements. whose disagreement threatens
a serious breach in the organization.
As time passes the rsnkS of the veterans
are becoming rapidly thinned by death,
and the element composed of conscripts
and substitutes grows in influence. 1t
IS notorious fact that some Grand
Army Posts are formed almost exclu-
sively of this element, many of whose
members never saw active service, and
who, as General Grant said, only began
10 get real mad when the war was over.
In the presence of a new conspiracy
to raid the Treasury with another Indi-
gent Pensiou bill the cause of the Presi-
dent has necessarily become that of the
whole people.

THE election in Kentucky Cor Gov

Of the Legislature took place on Mon
day last. The entire Democratic ticket
was or course elected, the majority for

Dor ticket in the field, but siugly or
combined they do not seem To have ma.

few counties. General Buckner, the
Governor elect, Is the same man who
surrendered Fort Dousisun on the Ten

the spring of 1862, the second year of the

Effects of HALT Liquors Upon Health.

Mr.. G. ThpmAan. jhs Sta-istician
OF the y mrTican Brewers Associat ion,
has cOllafed mass of facts and figures
with regard to the effect of malt liquors
on the health of consumers. He esii-
mates that the average consumption for
1000 men VINO belorg TO one distriC; of
the Brewers Benevolent Association in
New York is little over twenty five
glasses day. A close record of these
men for five years shows that the whole
number of deaths was thirty six. This
is a very low deAth-rate compared with
the general average. Carefully conduct
ed medical examinations. made by the
medical examiner of tns district, further
show that only one of these deaths WAS
from kidney disease. which has been
5 id 10 result 81 often from beer drinking
Mr.. ThomaLn q draws from his figures the
conclusions that brewers drink more
beer than any other class of people, and
dTiak II more con siantly THAT the death
rnts among them is lower by 40 per cent
than The average death rate among other
people of the same ages shat the health
of bre wer's is unusually good, diseases of
the kidneys and liver seldom Occurring
among them. and tnat Oh an average
thew live longer and hold their strength
AID health better than does the average
workman or the country.
Like most specialists, Mr.. Thomann
is enthusiastic il the support of his the
DRY but his conclusions with regard to
the healIhful influence of beer should be
treated with cautious circumspection.
There is no doubt that beer is much less
injurious to health than are spirituous
liquors. Nor is there any doubt that
the great change IN the habits of the
people of this country from consumDtiOn
Of spirits 10 malt liquors has been pro-
motive OF temperance, the Prohibition
lists To the contrary notwithstanding
People who drink moderately of good
beer are not likely to become drunk
ards or to injure their health.
1t will not do, though. To insist too
mnch upon The value of beer as an
agent of temperance reform or as a medi-
cal remedy. 1t is very probable that a
thousadd strong brewers would show a
lower death rate than an eJlaI number
of workmen in various other occupa-
tions. But Mr.. TbomaGn has never
compared the rate OF mortality among
his brewers with that of a Thousand
selected workmen consuming no spirit
uous or malt liquors of any kind. Un-
til such list shall have been made his
statistics will have little vaIne as proofs
of the healthfnl effects of beer upon
consumers. At the same time they will
greatly tend to disprove the exaggera-
ted assertions OF the PrOhibitionists
with redard to the agency of beer in en-
gendering fatal diseases. Mr Thomann
has at least demonstrated that beer
consumers are AS long!ived AMI as
hsalthy as are the masses of peOple who
drink 10 beer at all.-Phild. Record.
